4 endaweni yesibingelelo awasenzayo khona ekuqaleni. UAbram walinqula khona igama likaYehova.
5 Naye uLote, obehamba noAbram, waye enempahla emfutshane, neenkomo, neentente.
6 Ilizwe elo alaba nakubathwala, ukuba bahlale ndawonye; ngokuba impahla yabo yayininzi, ababa nakuhlala ndawonye.
7 Kwabakho ukubambana phakathi kwabalusi bemfuyo ka-Abram nabalusi bemfuyo kaLote. Ngelo xesha ilizwe lalimiwe ngamaKanan namaPerizi.
8 UAbram wathi kuLote, Makungabikho mbambano kaloku phakathi kwam nawe, naphakathi kwabalusi bam nabalusi bakho; ngokuba singamadoda azalanayo.
9 Àliphambi kwakho na ilizwe lonke? Khawahluke kum; ukuba uya ekhohlo, ndoya ekunene, ukuba uya ekunene, ndoya ekhohlo.
10 ULote waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wawukhangela wonke ummandla waseYordan, ngokuba ubunamanzi wonke, engekayonakalisi uYehova iSodom neGomora, unjengomyezo kaYehova, unjengelizwe laseYiputa, usingise eTsohare.
